[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 1/2] net/mlx4: avoid constant recreations in function

[Ophir Munk <ophirmu@mellanox.com>]

Function mlx4_conv_rss_types() contains constant arrays variables
which are recreated with every call to the function. By changing the
arrays definitions from "const" to "static const" these recreations
can be saved.
